Hamas, Islamic Jihad Say They Will Hand Over Deceased Hostage to Israel on Thursday Evening

Foreign ministers from the Group of Seven (G7) nations issued a joint statement Wednesday, strongly endorsing U.S. President Donald Trump’s Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict and urging Iran to comply fully with its international nuclear obligations.

Meeting in Canada’s Niagara Region, the ministers “reiterated our strong support” for the plan and welcomed the ongoing cease-fire and the recent release of hostages.

The G7 officials stressed the urgency of returning the remains of deceased hostages and welcomed the increased flow of aid into the territory. However, they “expressed concern about restrictions that remain in place” on humanitarian assistance.

“We called on all parties to allow for humanitarian assistance without interference at scale, through the United Nations and its agencies, and the Red Crescent, in addition to other international institutions and INGOs, as stipulated in President Trump’s plan,” the statement said.

In a separate section, the G7 addressed Tehran’s nuclear program. “We urged Iran to fully implement its obligations both under UN Security Council resolutions and the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons,” the ministers wrote. They demanded that Iran “resume full cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency, including enabling inspections of all nuclear facilities and materials.”
